Jessica Tarlov: “Gavin Newsom is speaking for a majority of Americans. Right before we came on air, there was a new Quinnipiac Poll that was released. Donald Trump: -12 approval in general, -11 on immigration, -16 on deportation. He has taken his best issue and decimated it.”

The CDC is rehiring more than 400 people who had received layoff notices.
Around half of those employees are in the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and Tuberculosis Prevention.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Out at Lake Chabot, I heard from constituents worried about ICE targeting neighbors just trying to follow the rules. We’re not China or Russia -- due process matters. We must protect our country without tearing families apart.

🚨 The LA protests escalated fast.
DHS called in the National Guard, and reports say Marines may be deploying next. The city is still on edge.
📢 If you’re out there, protect yourself and your crew.

Until policymakers are forced to navigate ethics boards,connect with legal advisors, and concurrently manage complex medical pathology in not one,but 2 patients (mother & baby),within critically narrow time frames, I encourage legislators to refrain from blaming ObGyn providers for these tragedies.
The new legislation, prompted by ProPublica’s reporting, comes after 111 Texas doctors signed a public letter urging that the ban be changed because it “does not allow us as medical professionals to do our jobs.”

Ty, a 13-year-old with autism and an intellectual disability, put a bunny in his backpack to show his friends.
Scared his toy would be confiscated, he told his teacher the school would “blow up” if anyone looked inside his bag.
He was arrested and charged with a felony — @propublica.org

A 13-year-old with autism got arrested after his backpack sparked fear. Only his stuffed bunny was inside.
Disability rights advocates said kids like Ty should not be getting arrested under Tennessee’s school threats law.
